Book Description

John Benoit lives in fear. And he's thankful for it.

Imagine our world, with a miraculous, horrifying twist. A world in which children can wield magic for one month during puberty. Their power is unlimited, but comes with a monstrous catch. The magic must be unique across all time or they die.

Few take the risk. Almost all who do, perish. But the peril is always present, ready to transform. To kill.

Agent John Benoit and his organization are obsessed with protecting children from this supernatural curse. And protecting our way of life from the threat of an innocent child's magic.

Rumors have surfaced of a rogue Chinese program that threatens to weaponize the magic of kidnapped children. The objective? Geopolitical domination. One of John's friends, assigned to investigate, has been found murdered in a Hanoi hotel room.

John and Stony Hill, his pierced and scarlet-haired young partner, race across the globe to pick up the threads of the bloody mystery and eliminate the existential threat. They follow the trail to Bangkok, Zurich, Shenyang, and ultimately to a confrontation on the snow-swept plains of North Korea.

Civilization will be irrevocably changed before their mission ends. One of them may pay the ultimate price. But nothing can be allowed to stand in their way. Not Washington bureaucrats. Not an enemy attack. Not even the deaths of captive children. Nothing.
